Amber is ready to bite nails. First, she loses her job. Okay, here's her chance to write the novel she always wanted to. Then, she arrives at the farm her aunt bequeathed her to find a man in her bath tub -- a dead man.

Only he's not dead, well sort of not dead.  Could things get any worse - or could they be getting better?  The not so dead man is vampire. Hot damn! What more could a romance writer ask for but her very own vampire hero?

But, Rusty Nipple won't cooperate. He won't stop sleeping in the bathtub, he won't shave off his beard, he won't stop drinking beer, and he won't bite men. He won't even change his name! Who ever heard of a vampire named Rusty Nipple? How is she supposed to write about a suave, sexy, debonair vampire if Rusty won't cooperate?

Determined to make Rusty into the kind of vampire everyone wants to read about, Amber rolls up her sleeves and gets to work.  However, Rusty sees Amber as a work in progress, too.  What better way to learn all this new vampire stuff than on his very own live-in romance author.

REDNECKS N' ROCK CANDY

Mandi O’Brian is not happy.  She was supposed to meet her friend Amber at the country house Amber had inherited.  Only Amber has gone off to New York to meet with her new literary agent and her publisher.  So what is a gourmet chef like Mandi supposed to do stuck out here in the middle of no where in a house where the TV only got four channels?  She couldn’t even watch Emeril!

 Sheriff Brad Keister isn’t very happy either.  Ever since he was fatally shot in a drug bust and his cousin Rusty had changed him into a vampire, Brad’s life had been completely upended.  No more coaching little league, no more corn on the cob, no more spending a hot summer afternoons fishing at the creek.  Hell, he couldn’t even do his job as sheriff competently anymore since he couldn’t go out in the hot sun.  Even worse, he had to take care of Amber’s goofy, cross-eyed cat while she was away.  What a screwed up life he had.  He just might be better off dead.          

 Then, Brad rescues Mandi from the insidious attack of a malevolent rose bush.  Thorns in her behind, she launches herself into his arms and wraps her legs around his waist.  For the first time in six months desire pools in Brad’s groin.  As he pulls the thorns out of her butt -- and ignores her angry comments about sexual harassment -- Brad knows he’s going to become much more intimately acquainted with the woman who’s got his blood pumping in all the right places again.
